Just upgraded my Silverblue installation. It was boring. It just downloaded while I kept working, one reboot, and it just works. Nothing to fix or tweak. What now?

What now?

Good news! The Factorio DLC just released so you can make your factory grow in the time previously needed to fix things.

Yeah seriously, without stuff breaking every update, why even use Linux?

The ease of updating and installing new software is starting to get me down. I've started hiring a neighbor to come over and slap me across the face for minor updates, and vigorously kick me in the balls when I do a full version upgrade.

I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

Early release is a nice surprise, especially after F40 (or was it 39?) got delayed so many times. Upgrade went smooth for me, upstream accent colors are nice to finally have. Kind of a bummer it doesn't apply to Nautilus icons though.

You can change your icon theme

With luck it will land in 42

I booted into Bazzite this evening and noticed my lock screen had changed, I assumed there had been a major update of some kind. I'm impressed both with how quickly I got this and with how entirely seamless this whole experience has been so far.

This'll be my first Silverblue major version update. What am I in for?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not much

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The upgrade turned out to be extremely uneventful!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

For me my display was automatically set to 150% scaling for some unknown reason. I changed it to 100% and everything was fine.

I just did it. You're in for a reboot. That's about it, unless you layered a bunch of stuff.

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I maaaay have layered some stuff that I couldn't find flatpaks for. 🥺

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I used to have issues with like rpmfusion repos and the like, worst case you may need to now the packages you have layered, do an rpm-ostree reset, upgrade, then layer the packages again. There's a way to install the rpmfusion repos that didn't break updates, I forget if they've updated the docs on the site to use it, I stopped layering almost everything in favor of flatpak or toolbx.

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'll keep your advice in mind. Thanks kind internet stranger. ✌🏻

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It won't matter of you layered a bunch of stuff

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It will if the repos are specific to a fedora release version. That's been a thing with rpmfusion in the past, not sure it still is.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

If you are using the officially supported repos you are fine. If are not using official repos I would strongly suggest that you do.

Any external software should be installed in a container (ideally) or in a VM.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Very nice.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nice! I was waiting for this release to do a fresh install over my previous Fedora installation that I had installed using Ventoy.
